Montreal calling on employers in downtown office towers to bring workers back With the downtown economy on life support, this week Montreal Mayor Valerie Plante urged downtown workers to return.It’s estimated there are 310,000 office workers in downtown Montreal, but the city says only about 30,000, or just under 10 per cent, are actually back at work in their offices.
Government guidelines allow for up to 25 per cent of employees back in an office while respecting social distancing.But corporations aren’t in a rush to return.A Bell Canada spokesperson said employees won’t be returning until November at the earliest.“When it’s possible for more team members to safely return to the workplace, we’ll be taking a gradual approach based on all.
